State-owned regional airline SA Express’s provisional liquidation has been extended to April 29, 2021. The announcement comes eight months after the airline was placed under provisional liquidation when its business rescue process failed.
In a bid to save the airline from being placed under final liquidation, a worker-owned entity called Fly Sax was chosen as the preferred bidder for the purchase of the airline in October last year.
In a circular to the airlineâs creditors on Monday, provisional liquidator Aviwe Ndyamara said the sale agreement with the bidders has not yet been concluded, adding that a number of the airlineâs licences have expired due to the ceasing of operations.

The hardest thing about this job,” explained Roman Kleinsasser, “is doing classroom instruction when you can see the sun shining outside.”
Kleinsasser is a flight instructor at the Heli Austria Flight Academy at Bad Vöslau in the east of the country, not far from the Hungarian border. The general aviation airfield here offers the ideal headquarters for the company’s training base. Free from the environmental constraints and traffic levels of Austria’s major airports, it nevertheless has good facilities, and is also the home of one of Heli Austria’s rescue helicopters.
Minister of Aviation, Joseph Kofi Adda
The Ministry of Aviation has refuted reports on social media suggesting that President Akufo-Addo will today, November 29 hand over five aircrafts to the Ministry to commence the operations of a home-based carrier.
In a statement issued and signed by the Minister for Aviation, Joseph Kofi Adda, the claims are false as no agreement has been signed yet with the strategic partner so far identified.
“This would have to get the consent of Cabinet and Parliament. We wish to let the public know that we are at an advanced stage in our negotiations with EgyptAir on a Strategic Partnership arrangement to relaunch a National Flag Carrier but the matter has not yet received Cabinet and certainly not Parliamentary Approval,” the statement explained.
